Jiangning County, Chunhua Town.
This location should be southeast of Tiancheng, more than thirty miles away.
In this triangular land between Fangshan Mountain, Qinglong Mountain, and Xishantou, there are villages and houses scattered all over the place, as well as fields that stretch out like silk and satin around the villages.
At present, autumn grain has been put into the warehouses in the fields in Zhili area, and only some two or three-inch-high rice straws are left in the wilderness, and there are piles of rice straw piled in twos and threes next to the fields.
All they have to do is wait for the people to finish their farm work, and then the rice stalks in the fields will be ignited to burn the insect eggs hiding in the soil and rice stalks, and the ash will be used to replenish some of the soil.
Behind the west hilltop in the northeast corner is a continuous mountain range, including Huanglong Mountain, Dalian Mountain, Xiaomao Mountain and Tangshan Mountain.
Fangshan in the southwest corner is just a small mound from a distance.
This is an extinct volcano preserved from ancient times.
There are just many famous temples and Taoist temples on Fangshan Mountain.
On a small square mountain, there are two Buddhist and Taoist camps, such as Dongxuan Temple and Dinglin Temple.
At this time, the sky and the earth were dark, and there was a gleam of light on the horizon. Everything in the human world was completely silent, making it difficult for people to tell whether it was the beginning of night or the approaching dawn.
On the other hand, the faint sound of chanting sutras and chanting Buddha came from Fangshan Mountain, which made people reluctant to move.
At the eastern foot of Fangshan Mountain, on the bank of the Jiexi River that connects Huanglong Mountain and the Qinhuai River, Zhang Hui, a member of Fusi Household in Jinyiweibei Town, led dozens of people to lie down on the river bank, looking over the river bank at a village at the foot of Fangshan Mountain. .
"Hundred households, this land belongs to the Li family. This village is also called Lijia Village because it belongs to the Li family."
A general who led the Jin Yiwei here was lying next to Zhang Hui, explaining in a low voice.
Zhang Hui's eyes turned left and right around Lijiacun, with a hint of indifference on his face.
"I heard that the fields under Fangshan Mountain are all occupied by Dongxuan Temple and Dinglin Temple. How can the Li family own such a large area of land right next to the foot of the mountain?"
General Qi snorted: "The Li family is not a good bird. The Fangshan Temple on the mountain was built by their family. Dongxuan Temple and Dinglin Temple also received a lot of benefits. Otherwise, they would be facing the Qinhuai River." Can the Li family take over the land?"
"Fangshan Temple." Zhang Hui muttered in a low voice.
This Fangshan Temple is not a Buddhist temple. It is dedicated to Zhang Bo, a deity who was born in Guangde. Because of his merits in controlling floods, he was regarded as the Great Emperor of the Ancestral Mountain. He was granted the title by successive dynasties, and there are temples in all the southeastern provinces.
Zong Qi was stunned for a moment and looked suspicious, then he realized that Baihu was probably sighing that he and the Emperor of Ancestral Mountain enshrined in Fangshan Temple were from the same family.
After thinking about it, the general flag whispered: "Brothers have already entered Lijia Village with the Wuhou who was patrolling the city that night in Taiping. I think it won't be long before they can be eliminated."
After explaining the current situation again, Zong Qi was a little confused.
Why would Baihu believe that the man who reported the news to Marquis Wu who was patrolling the city is now staying in Lijia Village.
Everyone in the Li family died. The person who reported the news must be related to this case, or even a conspirator. It would be too shocking to say that he was hiding in Lijiacun.
Zhang Hui nodded and continued to ask: "Is there anyone in the Li family who has been at odds recently? Is there any quarrel with the Taoist temple on Fangshan Mountain?"

The general flag frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I have never heard that the land in Fangshan Mountain is on the mountain. There are only a few fields all the way to Qinglong Mountain, but this time they were all searched by the tax office and Chen was found out. year of lawlessness.
The Li family believed in Buddhism and Taoism, and they continued to make offerings at all times, and the Fangshan Temple spoke for them. The land at the foot of the mountain had always been very stable. "
Zhang Hui asked again: "How do the Li family treat their servants and tenants?"
The general flag smiled bitterly: "These families all look like ordinary people. They have money and food at home, so they naturally feel that they are several levels higher than other people."
Zhang Hui snorted coldly and looked back at Qinglong Mountain and the top of the west mountain: "The world is as dark as crows, but the Li family is the only one who can't find out anything illegal? I think it's because the Li family hides it too deep and hidden."
How can the people from the tax office who came down from the battlefield compare to these people who work all day long in conspiracy and conspiracy?
But as soon as Zhang Hui finished speaking, there was movement from Lijiacun.
Several dogs kept at the entrance of the village whimpered and barked, startling a group of forest birds that were resting on the trees outside the village and hovering in the air with their wings fluttering.
The old man, who was sleeping lightly, started shouting from inside the house, thinking that someone's bride had been tortured by a man with a mace, which shocked the beasts in the village and offended them, who were short of sleep.
After a while, several rooms were lit up.
Several figures were walking around outside the village, and then there was a low sound of yelling, and then the lights that had just been turned on were turned off again.
Then, there were indeed several curses from young women in Lijia Village, mixed with the echoes of men breathing heavily.
"Who the hell is eavesdropping outside the house!"
"If I can't conceive a baby this year, I'll take over your house next year!"
"..."
"What a coward! When you are startled, you shrink so much that you can't even see your head!"
"If you can't get pregnant this time, it's your own fault."
"Why am I useless! It's not like I can carry a baby in my belly..."
"Then I'll have sex with the hunk who was just eavesdropping outside and see if I can get pregnant?"
"Fuck you..."
ever.
A woman wearing a bellyband and a man covered in sweat with half-arms draped stood in the yard of their house. They all shrank their heads and looked at the outside of their yard with dull eyes.
Another commander under Zhang Hui's command stared gloomily at the bastard man and woman standing in the yard arguing. The blade of the scabbard in his hand was glowing with cold light, and he swept across the yard coldly.
"Get inside the house."
The men and women in the courtyard shivered at the same time. They felt it was the cold wind blowing through them in the cold winter. The hairs all over their bodies stood up, their backs were numb, and the soles of their feet were cold.
Upon hearing the scolding from the official officer outside the yard, the two immediately hugged each other, turned around with their heads shrunk, and hid in the door with their buttocks exposed.
Katcha.
A sound of shattering tiles came from the front.
A guard in golden clothes under the courtyard wall quickly turned his head and whispered: "No! I shocked that person!"
"Chase!"
The commander-in-chief gave the order and finally pulled out the Xiuchun Dao in his hand.
More than a dozen people hurriedly rushed towards the direction of the sound.
From the front, a loud shout was heard at this time.

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
"It was the person who reported the news at that time!"
This was the sound made by the people patrolling the city, Wu Hou, who came out of the city to Fangshan.
The general who entered the village immediately took out a whistle and blew it.
The long voice spread outside Lijia Village.
Outside the village, Zhang Hui, who had been waiting for a long time by the Jiexi River, saw a crowd of people in Lijia Village, and a whistle sounded in the distance.
Zhang Hui immediately slapped his palms on the embankment and jumped up: "Let's go! Block it!"
In the wilderness, dozens of people outside Lijia Village formed a circle.
A man wearing boots and strong clothes moved left and right, but the range of movement in front of him was getting smaller and smaller.
finally.
Zhang Hui held the scabbard in his hand, swung it out from behind the man, and hit the man's right leg hard.
The pain from the penetration was still irritating, and the man just cried out in pain. However, because the popliteal fossa was hit, the strength of his entire right leg was relieved in an instant. Half of his body lost his balance, and the man turned his entire body to the right. Fell to the ground.
Before the man could react, he was already overwhelmed by the crowd around him.
After a moment.
The man who had been tied from head to toe could only bend like a maggot in a cesspit in the painful field.
"Who are you?"
"Why should you arrest me?"
"I want to report to the official!"
Snapped.
A crisp sound came from the face of the yelling man.
Zhang Hui knelt down, turned his palms, and stared at the man with disdain: "I am an official!"
After saying that, without giving the man a chance to speak again, he grabbed a handful of straw from the ground and stuffed it into the mouth of the man who kept moaning.
Then Zhang Hui roughly grabbed the man's hair and lifted his head heavily: "Take a look to see if it's the person who reported the affair to you at that time."
The few patrolling Wuhou who were arrested to identify people were frightened. They looked at the several bloody teeth scattered on the ground, and then looked at the man whose mouth was stuffed with straw, and blood kept pouring out from the gaps.
Several people nodded blankly at the same time.
"There is no doubt that Zhang Baihu is this person."
"It was this person who came out of Taiping to report the news to us."
Zhang Hui nodded, then lifted the man's head, pulled him up from the ground, pushed him back, and delivered it to several of his subordinates.
The man's head was covered in blood from all this torture, his scalp was dry and cracked, and his hair was messy and mixed with the blood.
Zhang Hui's eyes were gloomy: "Leave a team of people to guard Lijia Village. No one is allowed to come or go here until the matter is investigated!"
"Follow the order."
…
"Your Highness, this person is the one who reported the news at that time."
"My name is Li Erfu. He lives in Lijia Village and is a tenant of the Li family."
When a new day arrived, Zhang Hui had already taken advantage of the opening of the gate of Yingtian City to quietly enter the city and return to the Jinyi Guard.
Zhu Yunxi, who had been waiting in the prison all night, silently looked at Li Erfu, who was still on the ground with blood on his head, and looked at Zhang Hui: "Are you sure it's this person?"
Zhang Hui knelt on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, and said solemnly: "I have confirmed with the Wuhou who patrolled the city at that time that this person is correct."
Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered. A night of waiting did not make him drowsy or tired. Instead, he became more alert and alert: "A tenant of the Li family? Take him down and ask him clearly."

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
"yes."
Two Jin Yiwei who were waiting aside wanted to step forward to pick up Li Erfu, but Zhang Hui waved them away.
Zhang Hui had a sinister look on his face. He bent over and placed the five fingers of his palm on Li Erfu's shoulder bone, digging his fingers deeply.
Li Erfu, who was already dazed in pain, suddenly woke up. Because his mouth was tightly gagged, he could only widen his eyes and moan.
Zhang Hui, who was holding Li Erfu, used a little force on his arm to drag him outside.
Wait until the dull whimpering sounds disappeared from the interrogation room.
Sun Cheng, who had also been waiting here all night, walked to Zhu Yunxi with his slightly red eyes staring at him: "Your Highness, the person has been caught now. Would you like to go back to the palace to rest?"
"I won't go back to the palace." Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "Go to Taisun's Mansion. If you have any news, tell me immediately."
Sun Cheng nodded and immediately called to his subordinates outside, preparing to escort Taisun to Taisun's mansion.
The day of grandson's wedding is getting closer and closer.
The Taisun Mansion on the Jiuqu side of Qingxi has basically been completed. Recently, only furniture and gardens have been added to it.
Nowadays, if you want to live there, it's not bad.
After all, it is much easier to send news to the palace than to send the news directly to Taisun's Mansion.
…
In the dark depths of the prison, the air is stagnant all year round, and the rotten smell fills every inch of the space.
"Jiejiejiejie..."
An eerie laughter came from the darkness.
Zhang Hui held a dagger with a bright edge in his hand. He picked up the blade and kept dancing and turning it. With laughter, he walked to Li Erfu who was tied to the tiger bench.
The two accompanying subordinates turned their faces silently.
Master Baihu's methods are really...
The thing Li Erfu stuffed in his mouth had been taken away at this time.
Seeing Zhang Hui approaching with a dagger, he wanted to shrink back, but couldn't move even half an inch. Li Erfu could only stare at Zhang Hui with wide eyes as he approached step by step.
"You...you you...what do you want to do?"
"I did not do anything!"
"I do not know anything."
"I was wronged."
Zhang Hui snorted coldly, and the cold light reflected by the rotating dagger slipped past his eyes: "There has never been anyone who has been wronged in Jinyiwei Prison. Whether you know anything or not, I won't know until I ask."
Li Erfu's entire face had turned pale without a trace of blood, and the depths of his eyes were full of fear.
"What...what do you want to do..."
"ah……"
A scream came from Li Erfu's throat.
The dagger in Zhang Hui's hand had completely penetrated into his thigh.
However, after getting in, Zhang Hui did not move any further. Instead, he opened his mouth and bared his teeth and stared up at Li Erfu, who was sweating profusely and his face was red.
"Li Erfu, you know Tai Hospital, right?"
"I guess I know."
"But did you know that Tai Hospital is studying a very new thing recently?"
"They want to have a clearer understanding of what's inside the human body..."
"Although there are many death row prisoners in the imperial court, if you do these things, you will inevitably be criticized by civil servants, so Jinyiwei is the place to do it well."

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
Zhang Hui said silently, and someone had already sent a pot of wine, opened the lid, and sprinkled it on Li Erfu's thigh.
The wine got into the wound.
Li Erfu's whole body trembled and his eyes rolled upward.
Zhang Hui was still rinsing his hands with wine, and then continued: "A few days ago, I provided three different viscera to the imperial hospital. Only then did the imperial doctors know that people with the same symptoms would actually have different internal organs. There are different variations.”
"Recently, the Taiyuan Hospital hopes to have a better understanding of the direction of blood in the human body, so that it can bandage the wounds of our Ming soldiers on the battlefield in the future."
As he spoke, Zhang Hui held the dagger with one hand and pressed Li Erfu's trembling thigh with the other.
"Don't move."
"Here, from here to here, the Taiyuan Hospital said that there is a very thick blood vessel. The blood flows from the heart all the way to the soles of the feet, and then flows back into the heart from many small blood vessels."
"However, they don't know whether the specific location of these blood vessels is the same for everyone, including whether the size and thickness of these blood vessels are related to the person's weight, obesity, and height."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Hui didn't care whether Li Erfu listened or not.
The dagger in his hand had already begun to cut along Li Erfu's thigh.
The yellow-black skin was cut open, revealing the yellow fat layer underneath, and below that was the white muscle layer mixed with red.
There was a creaking sound.
It was the sharp sound of the tip of the knife scraping against the leg bone.
At this time, Li Erfu had completely fainted.
No one in this world can bear the pain of skinning, picking off bones and picking muscles.
Zhang Hui snorted disdainfully.
"When did you faint?"
He stood up, glanced at the thick blood vein beating under his skin from his incision, and asked the two subordinates behind him.
"Report...report to Baihu, you haven't used the knife yet, but when you were making your statement, this man was frightened and fainted..."
"After Baihu performed the operation, this person woke up once and then completely fainted."
Tick tick tick, drop by drop of blood dripped from the tiger bench to the ground, and the sound seemed to be tapping against the periosteum in the human ear.
In the dark and cold cell, steam was rising on Li Erfu's thighs, which was visible to the naked eye.
Every time the two Jinyi guards saw such a scene, they felt as if the wounds were pierced in the same position on their bodies.
He didn't dare to look more, so he could only lower his head quietly.
Zhang Hui stood aside, wiping his dagger with a sterilized towel. This was requested by the doctors at the Imperial Hospital, who said that there were invisible things that would rot human flesh and blood.
This will seriously affect their research.
I don't understand this, but it is my pursuit to be able to cooperate with Tai Hospital and improve my interrogation methods to a higher level.
Zhang Hui feels that this kind of cooperation is very suitable and hopes that it can continue.
"Wake him up."
puff.
A liquid mixed with alcohol and stimulating drugs was poured on Li Erfu's face.
Li Erfu, who had no trace of blood on his face, trembled violently, and his bloodshot eyes stared like bull's eyes.

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
"I say! I say! I say anything!"
"Let me die, let me die...wuwuwuwu...I will say anything..."
"Let me die..."
After waking up, Li Erfu had completely lost the idea of insisting on keeping the secret, not even a little bit.
He just wanted to die now.
Now, there is nothing he desires more than death.
Zhang Hui curled his lips disdainfully, his eyes full of disdain: "I have not picked out the blood vessels to watch with you. There are also internal organs. I am also learning from the imperial doctors how to make the prisoner stay awake. Look at your own internal organs.”
"pity……"
Zhang Hui glanced at Li Erfu indifferently.
This guy turned out to be a weakling.
"Hundred households..."
The two Jinyi guards walked up to Zhang Hui cautiously. The prisoner had already spoken, so they had to take charge of recording the interview. This was something that a hundred households would not bother to do.
Zhang Hui waved his hand: "You can ask, give him a good time after asking, and then inform the old gentlemen at the Tai Hospital that they can come over and try to save the dead to see if they can revive the dead."
The backs of the two Jinyi guards were numb, and their bodies hidden under the Feiyu uniforms trembled slightly.
I can only pray crazily in my heart that I will never do anything that violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty in my life, let alone get into a fight in the court.
Otherwise, it falls into the hands of adults from hundreds of families...
The two of them couldn't help but talk to each other: "Yes, yes, I will take orders."
Zhang Hui was bored and waved his hand and walked out: "The old gentlemen are really... Hey, I learned the bad things from the old gentlemen!"
